2U, Inc. Co-Founder and CEO Christopher "Chip" Paucek Named Washingtonian Tech Titan for the Third Time

LANHAM, Md., Sept. 20, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- 2U, Inc. (Nasdaq: TWOU), a global leader in education technology, today announced Co-Founder and CEO Christopher "Chip" Paucek has been named to the 2018 Washingtonian Tech Titan list. It is the third time that Paucek has been chosen as a Tech Titan, a list which is determined based upon a biannual survey of tech luminaries across the broader D.C. region.

"It's fun to be recognized again alongside such a great group of fellow entrepreneurs and innovators. The Tech Titan list is a reminder that innovation is alive and well in the D.C. area - not to mention we have a much better cost of living than the Bay Area. Watch out, Silicon Valley."

He has earned numerous accolades since co-founding 2U a decade ago, including the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award in 2012, the Goldman Sachs 100 Most Intriguing Entrepreneurs Award in 2013, and multiple Highest Rated CEO awards from Glassdoor.
